When life hands us lemons, we preserve them. We know by now that combining lemons with a little salt and patience yields intensely fragrant, tender rinds and sweetened flesh that can be used in everything from Moroccan tagines to Bloody Mary cocktails. But Saveur raises the flavor bar by including spices in the preserving mix that bring out the bold flavors of the preserved lemon’s Middle Eastern and North African heritage.
